• CL035-041 Children's burial ground
  Description

  On the level plateau of a limestone ridge, in lush pasture. Indicated in the angle of two field boundaries on the 25-inch OS map and the 1921 6-inch OS map and named Killoghan Children’s Burial Ground. A subtriangular area (26m WNW-ESE; 18m NNE-SSW) defined by a bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.25m; Wth at top 2.3m; overall Wth 7.3m) SE-S, open S-WSW and defined by a linear bank which appears to be incorporated into an earth and stone field boundary (H 0.5-0.75m) to NW and NE. The interior is partially grass covered and is dominated by scrub consisting of whitethorn and briars. There are low, uninscribed gravemarkers (H 0.2-0.4m; L0.3-0.6m) within the scrub area along with some loose stone, which may derive from field clearance. A short portion of field boundary extends (long-axis NW-SE) from the N corner of the monument. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-041----_01 From SW. General view of monument.

• CL035-042 Enclosure
  Description

  On a very gentle E-facing slope in improved, reseeded pasture with rock outcrop close to the surface. Depicted on the 1841 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (45m NW-SE; 43m NE-SW) truncated by a field boundary (long-axis NW-SE) across the NE sector and by a field boundary (long-axis NE-SW) at N. Not depicted on the OS 25-inch map or the 1921 OS 6-inch map, however the area of the monument is enclosed by a curvilinear field boundary SW-N. The monument is not visible at ground level. There is a large surface depression in the area of the monument, off-centre to E. A curvilinear field boundary which is depicted as enclosing the monument SW-N on later OS mapping and modern aerial photography (Bing 2012), has been removed.

• CL035-043 Enclosure
  Description

  On an E-facing slope, in pasture. Depicted only on the 1841 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular area (diam. c. 17.5m). A circular area (diam. 14m) which is defined by a bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m; Wth at top 1.4m; overall Wth 4.3m). The bank appears to be predominantly of stone, although it is grassed over. An intermittent kerb is visible on the bank exterior W-NW, defined by at least six upright stones (H 0.3-0.6m; Wth 0.2m). There is a possible entrance at N where the bank is low. There is no trace of an outer fosse. The interior is level and grass covered with some rock outcrop across the E sector. Ash trees are growing on the bank exterior NW-NE and there are some dense clumps of vegetation to the W and NE of the monument. A field boundary (long-axis N-S), which is not depicted on OS mapping, abuts to W.

• CL035-044 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  On a very gentle E-facing slope, in pasture overlooking the Boolree river. Depicted as a large enclosure named Caherloghan on all OS historic mapping. A roughly circular area (c. 40m N-S; c. 38m E-W) defined by the grass-covered remains of a stone wall (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.6m; Wth at top 3.4m; overall Wth 10.7m). There is a possible entrance (Wth 6m) at SW, where the wall is lower and there is a gradual slope leading up into the interior. The 1840 edition of the OS 6-inch map depicts a field boundary (long-axis NE-SW) truncating the SE arc of the monument, however the 25-inch OS map and the 1921 edition of the OS 6-inch map depicts the field boundary abutting to SE. The boundary may have been incorporated into the enclosing elements, possibly explaining the increased wall dimensions (Wth at top 5m) at this location. There are traces of a possible fosse (Wth at base 7m; D 0.2m) SW-W but this is not conclusive as the fosse area is very broad and shallow, with rock outcrop visible to the S. The interior is mainly grass covered with occasional large clumps of vegetation and several trees. There are also some flags of limestone rock outcrop evident. A drystone wall (L 32m; H 0.4-0.45m; overall Wth 4.25m) (long-axis NNW-SSE) extends across the interior, off-centre to E and there is a gap (L 2m) at its SSE end. There is a hut site (CL035-044002-) and a house site (CL035-044003-) abutting this wall to E, at the N end. A second hut site (CL035-044001-) is within the SW sector.

• CL035-044001 Hut site
  Description

  In the SW sector of a cashel (CL035-044----). A subcircular area (c. 10m N-S; c. 8m E-W) defined by a grass-covered drystone wall (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.2m; Wth at top 3.3m; overall Wth 4.65m). The drystone wall is incorporated into the enclosing elements of the cashel from SE to NW. From NW to NE and from E to SE it has spread out due to collapse. There is a possible entrance (Wth 1.1m) at E. The interior is generally level and grass covered. A hut site (CL035-044002-) and a house site (CL035-044003-) are located in the N sector.

• CL035-044002 Hut site
  Description

  Abutting a linear wall (long-axis NNW-SSE) to E, in the N sector of a cashel (CL035-044----), and immediately N of a house site (CL035-044003-). A subcircular area (c. 6m NW-SE; c. 5m NE-SW) defined by a moss-covered drystone wall (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.4m; Wth at top 1m; overall Wth 3.6m) comprising small stones (L 0.1-0.2m). The wall is less defined SE-S, where collapse may suggest a possible entrance. The hut site is cut into the interior grass-covered wall of the cashel (CL035-044----) at NNE. The hut site is not clearly seen SW-N due to dense growth of impenetrable briars. The following image has been uploaded: CL035-044002-_01.jpg_02 From E. General view of hut site.

  Description

  Abutting a linear wall (long-axis NNW-SSE) to E, in the N sector of a cashel (CL035-044----), immediately S of a hut site (CL035-044002-). A rectangular area (c. 12m ENE-WSW; 10m NNW-SSE) defined by a moss-covered drystone wall (L 10m; H 0.4m; Wth 2m) to N, by the internal arc of the cashel (int. H 1.2m) at E, by a wall at S (L 12m; H 0.35m; Wth 3.2m) and the internal dividing wall (Wth 4m; H 0.4m) of the cashel at W. The wall at N comprises very large moss-covered boulders and appears randomly arranged. The wall at S has a breach (Wth 2m) off-centre to E. The interior is level and grass-covered. A hut site (CL035-044001-) is also located in the SW sector of the cashel. The following image has been uploaded: CL035-044003-_01 From E. General view of monument.

• CL035-045003 Megalithic structure
  Description

  In generally level, rough pasture, with rock outcrop close to the surface and a low drystone field boundary close to S and E. Described by Westropp (1902-04, No. 10a, 100) as a ‘slab resting on smaller slabs. Perhaps natural’. De Valera and Ó Nualláin (1961, no. 24, 96) describe the structure as a, ‘Slab 2.2m maximum dimension resting on several smaller stones and a second slab 2.6m maximum dimension [is] 3m south of it. Though the first-mentioned slab may be artificially placed, similar slabs, more or less displaced from the natural strata, are frequent in the area and thus the site cannot be accepted as a megalithic tomb’. Depicted and named as ‘Cromlech’ on the 1921 edition OS 6-inch map. Not visible at ground level. A number of large stones are located within a small haggard adjacent to E and have been deposited here haphazardly along with other field clearance stones of different shapes and sizes.
